About

Not two careers. One unusual combination.

Engineering and marketing are not two separate careers here. They are one combination: I build the product, and I know how to reach the people it is for.

That is not theory. I have tested it on my own channels for four years, growing an audience of 55,000 while working full time as a software engineer, and running real campaigns for the brands that came looking.
